Me again?

I'm back... and blogging!

Actually, only half back. We have moved (house number three), my wife is 32 weeks pregnant, Noah is Lightning McQueen, and I just finished my Wood Badge training (I'm workin' those tickets!).

I'll have more soon, hope everyone is well.

Homies

I just have to share this picture. Noah loves wearing a white shirt and tie. Like Dad?
Team Noah/Brooks strike! Here the two are at Lagoon, flashing their signs.
Noah and Brooks stike again! Super friends!

Battle Royale!

Noah and Brooks learned their battle skills in underground Thai cage fights- and
it shows! Here the two are aptly demolishing their former sensei.

Here I fend off two bloodthirsty toddlers. Those red eyes-Real!

Why I'm Happy

I love my wife and son! We are so excited for Hayk, and have never been happier together. Sure, it's a bold statement, and things aren't perfect all of the time. But we are all kinds of happy the majority of the time, forgiving of each other, and love to spend time together. Not bad, right?

The Citizen

My wife is a citizen of the United States of America. Last week she took an oath with a few hundred other immigrants- it was an amazing experience.

I don't know who the guy in the picture with Hripsime and Noah is by the way. When I took the photo he just jumped in.

He's handsome though.

Us!

Here we are at the St. George Temple Visitor's Center. Please note that Noah is trying to escape- he really wanted to speak with the Sister Missionaries (true story).Here is Hayk's ultrasound at 20 weeks (check out that profile!):
Here's a picture of Noah's killer smile. People comment that he'll be a heartbreaker- I don't know about that whether or not that will be true about him breaking anyone else's heart, but he sure breaks his Mom's and my heart constantly with that smile:
Noah has an affinity for sleeveless shirts- and stethoscopes:
Here's a picture of Noah and I racing in St. George. I love you Noah!

So! Zara mentioned we should post pictures of us on my blog (er, the fam). I don't know why a picture of us would be more interesting than a giant mutant stalk of broccoli, but I will still oblige.

I love my family- we have some exciting times ahead.

Yesterday morning I was eating Fruit Loops, getting ready for Church. Hripsime and Noah were both asleep.

OR SO I THOUGHT!!!! (Cue dramatic music!)

I heard the patter of Noah sized footsteps walking along the upstairs hall, and then down, down, down the stairs.

He turned the corner into the kitchen, and walked right towards me.

He paused, and began to assess what I was doing.

Noah requests, “Dad, please don’t eat my cereal. It’s my favorite.”

Seth inquires, “What should I eat instead?”

Noah responds, “Broccoli.”

Seth laughs.

Noah laughs.

My son is so funny.
